Review of Site
Personally, I really value the use of Flubaroo. It has allowed me to make my weekly fact quizzes from piles of papers to grade over the weekend to an instantaneous grading and feedback system for both myself and my students. As soon as a student completes the quiz they receive an email with their score and an answer key so they can see which ones they got correct or incorrect. This also automatically generates a Google Sheets full of student scores for me to review, which is nice. It will also highlight any questions that were missed by the majority of the class, as to highlight an area I could possibly reteach.
